IdeaCentre Q190 Desktop no wifi on WIndows 8.1

Hi
Windows downloaded the 8.1 update today but after installing and restarting I am unable to use the wirless adaptor in my IdeaCentre Q190. The wireless adapter is showing with a yellow exclamatin on the device manager and stating "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
I have tried every single Windows 8 driver and the Windows 8.1 driver from the download support site and have the same issue every time. Any way at all I can get this working on Windows 8.1?
Thanks
Solved!

I had the same problem after upgrading to Windows 8.1, but luckily found help on the link below through a simple google-search:
http://ansionnachfionn.com/2013/10/18/win-8-1-wifi-and-lenovos-q190/
I my case, the first option did not work, but downloading and re-instaling the Realtek WIFI-driver for Windows 8 (not 8.1) fixed the issue - and my Q190 now once again has a wireless connection :-) :-)
The thing that annoyes me the most about this problem, is that the Realtek WIFI-driver for Windows 8.1 - that Lenovo lists on the support-page - doesn't work! Very poor quality-control, Lenovo! You should immediately post a note informing Q190-owners that they have to re-install the Windows 8-driver to get their WIFI-access back!
Best regards, John

IdeaCentre Q190 Wifi problem, Win 7 Pro 32, 64b

I bought a couple of Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 and all have a problem with Wifi.
The operating system is Windows 7 Professional SP1 32b and 64b.
I downloaded the official drivers Realtek 8188EE Wifi for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Version: 2007.2.0720.2012.
The installation went well, the computer is "hooked" on a wireless network, but it is not possible to open any web page. Various things I've tried (I do not even know what I tried everything) and some up and running and some not.
Another situation is to work on a Wifi router when it is moved to a different location with different wifi router, then again will not work.
Install any USB Wifi and it works perfectly.
So far I have installed several thousand machines and never had a situation like this.

hi MarkoG,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Install version 2010.9.0906.2013 from station drivers:
2. When done updating the drivers, open the wireless card properties under Device Manager > Network Adapters > Advanced Tab and set the following :
Roaming Aggressiveness = High
Transmit Power = Maximum
Source driver
Hope this helps

Ubuntu 14.04 install on Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 replacing Windows 8.1

I just purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 and would like to replace Windows 8.1 with Ubuntu 14.04. As this is a secure boot machine, is there anything I need to watch out for besides disabling secure boot? I seem to remember that there is a boot partition that I need to leave alone (?) Is there a Lenovo tool installed that can save a copy of the drive as an image? I have already saved a copy of the system to a USB stick. There seem to be some issues in connection with installing Ubuntu 14.04 (booting, wifi, bluetooth) is there an overview of the install issues for the Q190 somewhere?
Any advice appreciated.

If you are looking to entirely replace Windows on your drive, you can overwrite the entire drive, boot partition and all...
BUT...
Since you seem to want to preserve your Windows installation, you can make your life a lot easier in the long-run by simply getting another hard disk drive and swapping it out for the one which you currently have installed. (If I understand correctly, the Q190 only supports one HDD at a time)
Then you can install Ubuntu on the empty drive and not have to worry about writing a massive .iso,
testing a massive .iso and at some point in the future trying to re-install a massive .iso.
Here's a link to the user manual:
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/desktop_pub/lenovo_ic_q190_ug_v1.0_win8_en_r_online_20130320.pdf
On page 31 it explains the BIOS options. Doing a UEFI Linux install is still quite unintuitive, though there are a few threads and video tutorials out there. If you're planning on using Linux, right now I would suggest good old legacy style.
An overview of Ubuntu install issues is a pretty tall order for any machine. External wifi and bluetooth dongles are generally a problem, though the problems are often remedied after finishing all of the recommended updates.
I could add more advice, but it will help if I know more about what you want from your machine.

Any way to get the IdeaCentre Q190 recovery image without paying $60?

Hi All,
I _just_ got an ideacentre q190.
I was going to dual boot the machine, so I created a recovery flash drive (per the support line's instructions) in case the install went wrong. I did the install and something went wrong (surprise, surprise) and when I tried to use the recovery flash drive, it self-destructed (it tried to recover, but couldn't and then next time i tried to boot off the flash drive it couldn't do that either!)
Now, I have nothing to recover the system from. After 2 hours on the phone, the warranty/hardware department offers to have me ship the entire box in so that they can re-image the drive and the software department says they can only sell me a recovery cd for $59.
Am I the only person that finds this unacceptable? Does anyone just have an image I could download?
Thanks

Stephann,
Sorry to hear this... could you send me a private message with some additional information?
Could you share your contact info - name, shipping address and phone, and also the model and serial number from your system and confirm which version of Windows.
Let's see what can be done to help.
Thanks

Can't drag files from desktop to project files window

Im using the latest premiere pro version, 7.2, and while I can drag files from my desktop to the project window in premiere 6, for some reason its no longer possible in premiere 7.2
whenver I try to drag audio or video files from my desktop or any folder to the project files window at the bottom left I get a forbidden sign or circle with a diagonal so the only way to import files is through the import menu, which is less straightforward and slowlier
Ill be happy to provide more data if required
thanks
PS: obviously Ive already created a sequence so the problem is not that

The latest version is 7.2.2 (33)
Upgrade to that and see if it helps.

How can i transfer back up contact from desktop pc working on Windows 7 to iphone 5 working on ios 8.1?

You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

Since download of Firefox Hello desktop & laptop both on Windows 7 are very slow even after refresh, download history removed and anti virus software turned off

Since download of Firefox Hello my home desktop & laptop, both on Windows 7, are very slow to open. I have refreshed firefox, removed download history and turned off the anti virus software in extensions. All the plugins are up to date. Can we revert back to Firefox without Firefox Hello?

Firefox Hello is simply a wrapper for technology already in Firefox, it doesn't negatively impact performance if you aren't using it. Are you saying that your entire computer is slow or just Firefox?

When are retirement dates for certification MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7 and MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7?

Hi,
So what's the current situation with the MCIPT certifications in Windows 7?
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician on Windows 7
MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator on Windows 7
The certifications had previously been scheduled to retire in July 31, 2013.
Then that deadline was extended and they were due to retire in January 31, 2014
Presently, the certifications are listed on the ever unhelpful Microsoft Learning website
MCITP page and the
windows certifications
page.
In typical Microsoft Learning unhelpfulness there is a bland, confusing and uninformative statement saying
"Most MCITP certifications will be retired by July 31, 2014. Please check the
retired certifications and
retired exams pages for specific retirement dates."
Naturally, Microsoft aren't being specific about which MCITP certifications are being retired.
To be more obstructive and confusing, us poor learners are invited to check the retired certifications page, which only lists certifications that have already retired, for information about when a certification
will retire in the future. I have seen this done repeatedly in this forum and on borntolearn.mslearn.net in reply to questions about future certificate retirement, which is totally useless and perhaps deliberately deceptive, as the exam aren't
being discontinued and there's no info about future certification retirement.
There has previously been actual helpful information on the Microsoft learning webpages with statements explaining that whilst in a transistion between the older style MCITP and newer MCSA certification for Windows 7, that both certification titles will
be awarded until x date, when the MCITP will be retired and the MCSA will be awarded only. I can't see anything like that on the site at the moment.
I'd be most grateful if
anyone can link me to a Microsoft press release / blog / webpage that announced the scrapping of the January 31, 2014 deadline (as I must of missed this announcement)
anyone can give an update on the current Microsoft thinking about when this certificate will retire? Especially any links to announcements.
are both MCSA and MCITP certifications still being awarded?
advise what's the best way of staying up to date with multiple changes to exam and certification retirement announcement? (apart from borntolearn, which is awful and again, just directs back to the retired exams/certifications pages)
Many thanks everybody!
edit: formatting and spelling

Why choose a near retiring credential ?
* Have ever you applied for a job with keyword requirements ? Employers can be (and have been) insanely specific. (Then again that sort of gatekeeping for employment usually guarantees a fresh batch of pathological liars are your applicants, but I digress.)
* Also could be on a time deadline, e.g. contract bid requires x number of people to be certified, CompTIA requirement deadline could be arriving, and so on.
* Taking 2K08 exams when working in a 2K08 environment is probably easier than jumping into the next version without any access to it (other than building your own virtual servers or labs).
My current employer uses 2K08 not 2K12. There are also 2K03 servers still in production (eventually being phased out).
I don't know what the stats are today but (in 2012) 2K08 was leading over 2k12 in market share.
I thought that's what truly drives these exams' and certification's availability.

Hello Kiira Doon,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below may help get your iPhone's display to function.
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?Contact Apple Support.

Any ideas?
Thanks

It may be that a "metadata attribute" called the "bundle bit" has somehow been set on the Desktop folder, such that the system treats it as a "package" rather than as a folder.
To check for this, click on the Desktop, type command-I (Get Info), and look in the General section of the Info window under "Kind". It should say "Kind: Folder" - if it instead says "Kind:package," then I would proceed as follows:
Download and run the utility File Matey. From its "Choose an Object" window, navigate to the Desktop folder and click Choose. In the next window, see if the box for "Has Bundle bit" is checked:
If so, then uncheck it, and click Apply, then Save.

Skype WiFi for Windows Phone

How do I download Skype WiFi on my Windows phone, when I tap download Skype Wifi from my Windows phone it goes to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skype-wifi/id444529922?mt=8

2014-08-04. Yesterday i was in great need of Skype WIFI on Heathrow. But no! Microsoft/Skype still don't have Skype wifi for Windows Phone but has it for all competing mobile platforms! How does that make sense? If MS won't support Windows Phone, who will??
Maybe it is as it should be? I had this discussion with a gentleman that was sincerely convinced, there has been a major policy change at Microsoft HQ regarding Skype. He belived the buy of Skype insyead really was a kind of a hostile buy, in order to close Skype as it it is shaped today, instead in a future introduce a new type of coomunication programme similar to Skype, but totally different and more profitable and when launched a closure/abandoment of Skype will be done.
I don't know, but it was a really well suited gentleman...
